I'm covering the Virginia Independent Schools Athletic Association's high school championships this weekend, and glad to get in a workout between prelims and finals. (By the way, I'm very impressed with what I've seen from these kids so far.)
I spent a lot of pre-workout time trying to figure out what to do. Should I do a kicking workout, which is what I would have done if I were in Phoenix? Should I do a sprint/lactate workout, as I do on Sundays? Should I just do a basic aerobic workout to get the kinks out?
I didn't make up my mind until I finished the first 500 yards. I was going to do some prep for an IM set at the end, but again, I couldn't decide if I wanted to descend some 100 IMs or break it up. So, what you see is what I decided to do. I was pretty happy with the descending 100s. I didn't expect to be much faster than that, since the interval didn't allow for much rest.
I'll do a lactate workout tomorrow. And the best thing is the water temperature: a wonderfully cool 80 degrees, though I could feel warm water coming out of the jets.
